Kapton® Tape

Dunmore’s Kapton® tape is the standard for flight and ground applications in the aerospace industry. Its material properties with respect to mechanical strength, vacuum compatibility, electrical isolation, optical clarity, and high emissivity make the polyimide tape ideal for a host of applications. Our polyimide tape is the go-to material in aerospace integration and test environments. Polyimide tape often sees use in Ground Systems Engineering (GSE) applications like temporary / permanent tiedowns, blanket closeouts, FOD control, harness wrap, and thermal radiation sinks.

One of the primary uses of polyimide tape is for wire harness applications. Since the Kapton® tape is electrically insulative and low outgassing, it is an ideal material as a harness wrap to protect electrical wires from abrasion and electrostatic discharge (ESD) events. In flight applications, polyimide tape has all the same uses as bare Kapton® film but with the convenience of quick attachment associated with tapes.
